You'll implement, design and manage reward frameworks to ensure they are competitive, compliant and aligned to the People Strategy. Working closely with the People Team and senior stakeholders across the Society, you will ensure reward policies, processes and practices are applied consistently, are fit for purpose, and support colleague engagement, performance and retention.

• Experience of job evaluation and benchmarking tools, ideally Willis Towers Watson / Towers Watson Global Grading System (WTW GGS).
• Experience of Reward systems, preferably with prior experience implementing flexible benefits systems.
• Strong numerical, analytical and modelling skills, with the ability to interpret complex data and translate it into clear insight and high-quality reporting.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills at senior levels, with the ability to lead project work and deliver through others (including coaching and quality assurance).
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with experience of supporting colleague communications and/or senior stakeholder materials.
• Good understanding of relevant regulatory and legislative requirements relating to reward, including governance expectations and documentation standards.
• High level of proficiency in Excel and experience working with HR systems.

• Matched pension contributions up to 10%   

• 26 days holiday, plus bank holidays and holiday purchase scheme
